Overview

BAE provides Applied Behavior Analysis therapy to individuals with autism and other neurodiversities that is person-centered using assent-based assessments, interventions, and goal planning. Advanced behavior technicians who are working towards MA certification are eligible to apply to our Behavior Consultant supervised fieldwork position, leading towards a career as a BCBA. In this position, you will gradually experience behavioral analytic activities through the use of a portfolio and BCBA mentorship that will prepare you for your next steps.

Behavior Consultants expand their clinical experiences while progressing through experience levels under the mentorship and supervision of a BCBA.

Supervised experience as a Behavior Consultant includes opportunities to:

• Further expand professional experience across a variety of clients and program designs
